That color rocks on your C5. Wish they had made either the Atomic Orange or Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic a factory choice for the C5s.

The color looks as good on the C5 as it does on the C6. Nice change.

that was the hardest part of picking the color. my wife gave me a hard time about it for quite a while.


richey road collision did the work. Chris watts did an exelent job and the customer service was top notch. they also did the minitubs

My camera just crapped out on me and I ordered a new one and what I get it I will get her cleaned up and get some shots of the rear of the car. she looks great with 345s out back

If I paint the calipers should I stick with the red that they are now? do you think AO would look good on them as well?
